We Represent Clients on a Contingency-Fee Basis · No-Cost Case Evaluation
In 1968, the United States National Highway Safety Bureau required car makers to install seat belts in passenger vehicles made and sold in the United States. When it was determined that the original single-strap lap belts failed to prevent serious injuries to the upper body during an accident, the law was amended to require the full safety harnesses in use in all cars today. In 1999, the federal government began requiring all new passenger cars sold in the United States to come equipped with front passenger air bags.
Manufacturers are required to ensure their seat belts are effective in securing the driver and passengers in crashes at highway speed limits. Air bags are supposed to deploy automatically when the moving vehicle is struck in a frontal collision as low as eight miles per hour. If injuries to the driver or passenger result because a fastened seat belt fails to remain secure or the air bag fails to deploy during a crash, the manufacture may be held liable for compensating the victims for the full extent of the resulting damages.
